Does anyone know what it's called or where I can find it?



It seems like it doesn't exist (and it's just those 3 custom letters), let's make the rest of the letters?

Here is some rough letters I came up with myself. Can you guys improve?

Yeah, it's probably just for the GSL.

It looks, at the very least, font-ABLE. If they do have a font on hand, maybe you could ask them? It's pretty neat looking, but I bet the texture / shading was done specifically for the logo rather than being font-wide.
When you stare into the iCCup, the iCCup stares back.

once i finish my league of legends for the night, i think i'm gonna see what i can do about making an entire font of the same style just for shits and giggles, after a quick scan around the internet to see if it exists already or not. cant imagine it would take more than a few hours for the way i have it all sketched in my head (though things never go as planned~)

actually i will do this tomorrow afternoon, need to fix my sleep schedule. i will give it the ol' college try though, rest assured.

Since this style font doesn't seem to fit together perfectly, I would imagine using a font like 'price is right'/'grand theft auto' for a basis of idea.

Alright, getting started on making this a reality right now. Will edit this or post again or something here in the next few hours. edit: assuming Illustrator will load.

Here's a little over an hours work. Figure rather than complete the whole thing I'll see if anyone even wants me to :O

Anyone want me to finish?

edit: little white mark on the outlined i. ignore it, just was a quick preview solution to some nonsense i'll sort out later.

Looks really good although I don't like the K, gotta be a better way to do it. Also, I wonder if it's possible to have a lower and upper case version, or only just a mixed version.

I dunno, it's a hard letter like R so, this is what I came up with really quickly.

I think we should try and keep a theme with how the letters get tails (or the sharp angled parts). Letters that go below the line (p, g, j, etc only maybe?) Also what kind of rule is there for making a similar part on the top, or on any letter, or just letters that exceed an 'o' size in either direction? Or should all the letters just stay on the same level like how you have the 'j' currently?

The indent in the center of the G should probably have as thick of a border as the rest.

nice

slightly different but obviously a base for it. I think the GSL style (and what we started to create) looks better.

Planet kosmos is really close- they probably used it as the baseline for the GSL font. I'll try to finish it later and get all the letters in there, themed off kosmos but straight edges like they were "GSL'd." Afterwards, we can debate how to make some of the uppercase ones.

I'll be at MLG Orlando and I doubt this will be 100% done tomorrow, so SpoR or anyone else, if you want to come up with some uppercase ideas for those that don't have it (GSL + a few of the ones I did like A and J maybe) I can clean them up in Illustrator later. Probably also worth noting that some letters, like S, probably don't need lowercase versions unless we're going to have different heights or add other decorative elements (like the overlap on the G.)

edit: Also, some of the ones I made will probably be scrapped in favor of planet kosmos versions.

Yeah the GSL logo looks like it's from a standard font that's been modified using paths etc. in photoshop or gimp
